Generations
This book is excellent and I recommend it to everybody. Wolf analyzes in a clear, differentiated and personally honest manner the double standards and intellectual dishonesty of a particular branch of feminism - that which cast women in the roles of eternal, saintly victims and declares men to be "the enemy" - and how this "victim feminism" has damaged and still damages the struggle for women's rights. She makes it clear that women do not have to proove that they are somehow better than men in order to claim their fair share of the world - we are entitled to it simply because we are human beings. The passages about acknowledging men's full humanity as well as women's and about embracing a positive concept of female sexuality are particularly inspiring.
If I have a problem with the book it is the way power and money are presented as the primary solution. I love to see sucessful women and I cheer them on where I can, and I completely agree with Wolf that women can and should aspire to positions of power and wealth. However, it remains a fact of life that serious power and wealth can only ever be acquired by a few. The majority of women (like the majority of men) will remain ordinary citizens with moderate financial means. I'd like Wolf to explain more clearly what her vision for this majority is.
